[QUOTE="Buddhaman, post: 2251419, member: 12404"] It took my 5 months after I graduated to find a job that would hire someone without any experience in an engineering job. Now I'm learning some manual lathe and mill while doing minor design work on Solidworks. It seems like a lot of the places that say they want engineers are trying to replace retiring ones and want someone with experience (and those are the ones retiring). I like where I'm at a lot and I don't plan on jumping when I get enough experience for some other places. If I had gone a different route I might have ended up being a machinist, there's just something cool about making a part out of bar stock. [/QUOTE]
